> inhabitants of the cities wanting to clean up the cities Sounds like environmentalists to me

  If it were environmentalism they'd agitate to raze the cities.

    Please stop trolling. Either engage reasonably or go to Slashdot. On the very slim chance that you're not trolling, let me explain that "environmentalists" don't live somewhere else. They too are people, that like everyone, live on this planet. They are also voters (at least in the countries where that's possible). Nevertheless, they (the subset you're keen to tag) are not the only people living on the planet nor are they the only voters. Nor, most importantly, are they the only or best funded lobbyists. Your whole premise is blaming those who fight for "being losers". How about all those folks/groups lobbying against environmental controls? Do they bear no blame in your world view?

      I don't have a problem with environmentalism, and I'm not trolling. I'm an environmentalist myself. I think its reasonable to point out that the environmental movement has fought the best chance they've had the past few decades to end the reliance on fossil fuels and has accomplished very little of their stated goals or what you'd expect them to hope to accomplish. The goal isn't to fight, at least not if you're serious about what you claim to care about.
